Article Abstract:

Before medication is administered rectally, nurses should ensure that patient consent is obtained. Patients should be allowed to urinate prior to administration; the bed should be protected; the patient should be questioned for potential allergies such as nuts, phosphate and latex; and it should be ensured that there is a valid prescription. Potential side-effects of rectal administration include anal irritation and leakage.
